The Viking VMC-10B is a specialized hardshell case expertly molded to fit the deep, rounded profile of a traditional bowl-back (neapolitan) mandolin. Unlike standard flat-back cases, this model features a deep-contoured cavity lined with shock-absorbent plush to provide a secure, wobble-free fit for the instrument's unique geometry. The exterior is built with a reinforced wood frame and a weather-resistant covering, ensuring that the delicate ribs and finish are shielded from pressure and humidity. Finished with a sturdy handle and heavy-duty locking latches, this case offers the essential protection needed for these classic, historically-shaped instruments.
